Lavender Cottage Fibre Arts Podcast Episode 13

[@PlatypusKnitting]

Your tiles are so pretty! Love the ones on terracotta. And your bells! 🤩😍 Also totally gonna steal KOFO - brilliant term 👌.

[@CasualKnitter]

From the beginning of the episode I have to applaud you for being so talented: painting, tile making, Tunisian crochet 😮 I was thinking you're just knitters 🎉

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

Thank you Christine you are very kind!

Fascinating about the different elements that impact how tight your knitting is. I used to knit socks on 1.75mm needles until I swapped from flicking to throwing and now I'm hovering between a 2mm and 2.25mm depending on the yarn. Love the mitred square blanket - the colours on that are looking fab! Such a buzz to see your o me miserum socks! They're looking really great. I think the zigazag socks will look really cool in a speckled yarn!

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

Thank you so much Jess! I have so many options for the zigazig ah socks but I very much doubt I will be knitting just one pair of them 😅

[@PassionedFlower]

You guys are both so talented at so many crafts - love seeing all of your makes!

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

Thank you Ros it’s good to know people enjoy seeing our non fibre based crafts as well.

[@mindfulmelbournemaker]

Such interesting discussion around the clay work - loved seeing all the FOs and WIPs

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

Thank you Kath! Pia is very talented indeed! I’m lucky to have my own personal ceramics teacher if I decide to start dabbling in clay.

[@knittingindenivonne]

Thank you for this episode, i realy love the ceramic art, i would like to learn to make something like that ❤ greetings Ivonne😊

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

Thank you Ivonne. Pia started out doing just a short course at a community centre and her passion grew from there. Maybe there might be similar courses/workshops near you to give it a try?

[@knittingindenivonne]

I already looked at it but it was full, but maybe next year

[@CasualKnitter]

Listening to you Anna I have realized that I am also knitting too deep and opening the stitch and will definitely try to just work with the tip of the needle ... But still the socks look good

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

It is tricky to figure out issues with tension because we are using so much of our muscle memory but after a few weeks of concentrating on changing my stitching action I think my tension is getting better!
